[00:00:00] Human activities,
from pollution to overpopulation, are driving up the Earth's temperature and
fundamentally changing the world around us.
The main cause is a phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect.
Gases in the atmosphere, such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous
oxide, and chlorofluorocarbons, let the sun's light in, but keep some of the
heat from escaping. The more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the more heat
gets trapped, strengthening the greenhouse effect and increasing the Earth's
temperature.
Human activities, like the burning of fossil fuels, have
increased the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere by more than a third since the
Industrial Revolution. The rapid increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
has warmed the planet at an alarming rate. [00:01:00]
While Earth's climate has fluctuated in the past, atmospheric carbon dioxide
hasn't reached today's levels in hundreds of thousands of years.
Climate change has consequences for our oceans, our weather,
our food sources, and our health. Ice sheets such as Greenland and Antarctica
are melting. The extra water that was once held in glaciers causes sea levels
to rise and spills out of the oceans. flooding coastal regions. Warmer
temperatures also make weather more extreme.
This means not only more intense major storms, floods, and
heavy snowfall, but also longer and more frequent droughts. These changes in
weather pose challenges. Growing crops becomes more difficult. The areas where
plants and animals can live shift and water supplies are diminished. In
addition to creating new agricultural [00:02:00]
challenges, Climate change can directly affect people's physical health.
In urban areas, the warmer atmosphere creates an environment
that traps and increases the amount of smog. This is because smog contains
ozone particles, which increase rapidly at higher temperatures. Exposure to
higher levels of smog can cause health problems such as asthma, heart disease,
and diabetes.
cancer. While the rapid rate of climate change is caused by
humans, humans are also the ones who can combat it. If we work to replace
fossil fuels with renewable energy sources like solar and wind, which don't
produce greenhouse gas emissions, we We might still be able to prevent some of
the worst effects of climate [00:03:00] change.

[00:00:00] I don't know why
people still play tricks on April Fool's Day. Last year on April 1st, one of my
co workers played a really horrible trick on our office. He moved all the stuff
on everyone's desks around, so no one could find what they were looking for. It
was a total waste of time. Earth Day is really amazing.
People spend their time helping each other and nature. Last
year, my book club planted flowers around the kids playground in the park.
Then, we had a picnic with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. I hope we do
something just as special this year. When I was a kid, we used to surprise my
mom every Mother's Day with breakfast in bed.
We got up early and made a mess in the kitchen. But she always
enjoyed it, at least I think she did. It was a great tradition and we had fun
cleaning up the kitchen together. Father's Day [00:01:00]
is a special time for me. It's great, because I get to spend the whole day with
my family. Last year, our whole family got together for a big dinner.
They made my favorite meal, spaghetti and meatballs. And we had
ice cream for dessert. We're all big talkers, so everyone had funny stories to
tell. I don't look forward to New Year's Eve. Those parties are the worst.
There's way too much food, and you end up eating too much and staying up too
late, and you feel terrible the next day.
And the noise! Last year, the people next door had a huge,
noisy party that went on till 5 in the morning!

Grade 10 Unit 3
[00:00:00] Good afternoon. Dr.
Carla Shapiro, a gastrointestinal specialist, is with us today to talk about
digestive problems. Welcome to our program. Thank you for having me. It seems
that many people have digestive issues. Can you tell us about one of the common
issues that you see? I would say that lactose intolerance is a very big problem
for many people.
This means that people are unable to digest dairy products such
as milk and ice cream. Why does this happen? All babies have a special
substance called lactase, which helps to break down the sugar in milk, so the
body can use it for energy. However, research has discovered that in some
people, lactase production slowly decreases.
So, when these individuals consumed dairy products, they
experienced digestive problems such as bloating, stomach aches, and diarrhea.
What percentage of the world is lactose [00:01:00]
intolerant? Actually, research has shown that about 68 percent of the world's
population has some degree of lactose intolerance.
People in northern Europe do not suffer as commonly from this
problem as, say, someone from eastern Asia. So why do some regions have this
condition and others don't? Recent research has indicated that over 5, 000
years ago, when some cultures started farming rather than hunting for food,
Those that raised cows, sheep, and goats seemed to develop this ability to
consume dairy products.
Perhaps they began to rely on animal milk to fight famine. So
over time, these people could drink milk as adults? Yes, that is what research
shows. In fact, scientists believe cultures that started to use animal milk
kept the ability to break down lactose, and over time, it changed their gene
structure. So, this is seen in all European cultures?
Mostly. But some groups in Ethiopia and Kenya, and a few [00:02:00] other places also have this ability.
Because these groups began to farm and raise animals, especially cows and
goats. So, some people can eat dairy products, and others have to avoid them?
Yes, that is right. However, this intolerance can happen at any time.
For example, even in European countries, we see young patients
who are unable to digest milk. So what alternatives are available for those
people who are lactose intolerant? There are different types of dairy free milk
products available, like soya, almond, and rice. Also, the food industry has
introduced many lactose free products, so people can still enjoy a lactose free
version of ice cream.
There's also a tablet that you can take to help break down
lactose. This can help some people. Well, our time is up for today. I would
like to thank you so much for joining us today, Dr. Shapiro. Thank you for
having me. It's been a pleasure talking with you.

Grade 10 Unit 4
[00:00:00] Many people say that
they are working too many hours. They don't have enough time with their
families. They can't take care of things at home. They don't have time to
relax. Work hours vary from one country to another. In France, people spend
about 1, 646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2, 159
hours a year.
That means a Japanese employee works 513 more hours a year than
a French employee. That is more than 12 weeks, or 3 months, of extra work. Why
do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to
earn more money. However, many companies don't pay overtime. Their employees
don't get extra pay for extra work.
These people work [00:01:00]
extra hours because they think it's their duty. Some people are afraid they
will lose their job if they don't work extra hours. Many people say that their
vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation. In
Germany, they get from four to six weeks. In the United States, two weeks of
vacation is the average.
Many people don't even use all of their vacation days. In one
study in Great Britain, fewer than half of all workers used all their vacation
days. In English, people say, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. If
that is true, there are a lot of dulled people in the world.

Grade 10 Unit 5
[00:00:00] Today, I'm going to
show you a simple science experiment that you can try at home to learn about
density. Start by taking an empty glass, and tip in some water and food
coloring. Then add some syrup, or treacle. And I'm gonna add a little bit more
water, to make the layer a bit thicker. Then finally, fill the glass up with
some oil, and leave it to settle for about 15 minutes.
These liquids separate out into different layers, because
they're different densities, and they don't mix. The syrup has the highest
density, so it sits on the bottom. And the oil, which has the lowest density,
rises to the top. Try dropping different objects in to see what happens. If we
drop this metal nut in, which is really dense, you can see it sinks right to
the bottom.
But if I take this grape and drop it in, it sinks through the
oil and water, but sits on the syrup. This is because the syrup is denser than
the grape. Pretty cool, huh? Now if I take this plastic bottle top and drop [00:01:00] it in, it slowly sinks through the oil and
sits on the water. And finally, if I take this piece of sponge and drop it in,
it sits on top.
The oil is denser than the sponge. You can try dropping
different objects in to see which fluids are denser. I also found shining a
torch beam down from above gives a really nice effect.

[00:00:00] If you've never
heard that food science was a potential major, or that you could one day be a
food scientist as a career, let me quick fill you in because it's only going to
take a minute or two. Now, food scientists are involved in the food supply at every
step. They are thinking about what's the best way to grow the food and the most
efficient way to harvest that food.
The next step is how do you transport that and store it? Does
it need to go to a factory? Maybe one's at the factory? Does it need to be
processed in some way? How can we make sure this food stays safe and does not
hurt the consumer? And of course, food scientists work on making that possible.
Raw material into different food products and packaging it up and getting it
out onto the grocery store shelf.
Everything you see at the grocery store has been touched by a
food scientist in some way. So I guess more simply put, food science is what [00:01:00] happens to food before it gets into the
consumer's mouth. Um, food science as a scientific discipline requires
knowledge from a lot of other sciences. So you'll have to be good with
chemistry and biochemistry, biology and microbiology, physics and engineering,
just to name a few.
And I know you might be wondering, well, what science is there
behind our food anyways? But food science is happening around you each and
every day. You've probably just never noticed it. So let me give you a couple
of examples. So when you cut an apple into slices and later see that it browns,
this is actually an enzymatic reaction.
Or when you use sugar and you heat it up and you see it start
to turn brown, it starts caramelizing, this is a chemical reaction. Food
scientists think about how to prevent food waste and make the food supply more
sustainable, which explains why explains why we turn something like liquid
milk, which has a very short shelf life, into a lot [00:02:00]
of other foods like cheese and yogurt that have a much longer shelf life.
Food scientists also work to invent new food products or create
new flavors. For example, turning this milk regular chocolate bar into an Oreo
flavored chocolate bar. But the number one goal of every food scientist is to
make sure that the food supply is safe for everyone to eat. So if you enjoy
science and you're interested in food, a career in food science might be just
the right fit for you.

[00:00:00] The internet lets
you do many other things, even make new friends. It can get infected with
viruses, which can harm your computer. So be very careful. Here's how you can
stay safe and enjoy the internet. Before using the internet, always ask an
adult if the computer has a firewall and antivirus working.
Together, they protect your computer against many different
kinds of viruses that attack our computer and steal our data. Remember, if you
are using email, always Always keep your email password a secret. Make sure no
one sees it, not even your friends. Let only your parents know your password.
Avoid saving your password on any computer or mobile phone.
Email is great to keep in touch with friends, but remember to
log out or shut down every time you're done. It's also [00:01:00]
important to know that you should not click any links or ads in your email or
internet. Always ask an adult before doing so. These may contain viruses. With
your regular studies, the Internet is a great tool to learn and be smart.
If you don't have a computer at home, Cyber Cafes can help you
log on to the Internet, where you can play games or watch videos. But here
also, never click on links or any pop ups. Always take the supervisor's help.
Many movies are not made for children. Similarly, there's a lot of content on
the Internet that you should stay away from.
Always alert your parents if you or your friends come across
anything violent or for adults. You may also be using social networks like
Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, and [00:02:00]
Musically to chat with friends and make new ones.

[00:00:00] Windsor Castle, just
one of Her Majesty's palaces currently being guarded by the Queen's Gurkha
engineers. Gurkhas haven't been seen providing the Queen's Guard since 2015
when they did it to mark 200 years of service to the British Crown.
Preparations for the role are intense. One squadron are currently honing their
skills on the parade square in Aldershot ahead of taking over in May.
So in London we'll have responsibility for Buckingham Palace.
James's Palace and the Tower of London, but we'll also be doing duties at
Windsor Castle as well. The squadron can be nothing less than perfect and it
takes time to adapt to the different commands. Day one it was a bit of a loads
of information, drill is hard, it's all about discipline.
Putting yourself into discipline and putting everyone into
discipline as a drill instructor. Uh, that's, that's our main thing. So putting
everyone, do everyone, everything together. So, yeah, it's, [00:01:00] we are getting there. The Gurkhas are
introducing some of their traditions to the ceremonial role. Each one will
carry a kukri on parade instead of a bayonet.
Well, these soldiers are looking pretty sharp at the moment,
but They aren't good enough yet. And in all fairness, they're only two weeks
into their training. They've got until the 2nd of May to get it right. That's
when they have to go to Wellington Barracks for an inspection by the General
Officer Commanding London District, who will say whether they're up to the job
or not.
With five weeks to go, they seem to be on track. I know it's a
hard work. Really, it's not easy because just looking at it. From outside when
you're not doing anything, it looks very easy, but when it comes to it, it's
hard. But the thing is, as a soldier, you have to keep carry on, keep calm and
carry on, I would say.
And what about your family? What did they say when they heard
you'd be doing this? They are really proud of me because I used to tell them
that I will be joining the British Army and will [00:02:00]
guard the Queen's Elizabeth II. So now here I am. So they are feeling really
proud. And they say, well done, my son.
All being well, they'll be guard mounting at Buckingham Palace
for the first time on May the 5th.

[00:00:00] Nepal and Bangladesh
will clash in the finals of the Three Nations Cup football tournament today.
Nepal has not scored any goals in the ongoing tournament yet. Team Nepal, which
had settled for a goalless stalemate against Kyrgyzstan in its first match of
the tournament, also had to satisfy with a goalless draw against Bangladesh on
Saturday.
However, managed to reach the finals. Bangladesh hasn't been
able to score any goals in the tournament either. Bangladesh registered a
solitary goal win over Kyrgyzstan through an own goal by a Kyrgyz player.
Speaking at the pre match conference yesterday, coach of Team Nepal Bal Gopal
Maharjan said the team will try to end its goal drought and lift the title
today.
The title decider is scheduled to kick off at 5. 30 this
evening at Dashrath Stadium in the capital's Tripureshwar.

[00:00:00] Here's the seven
mentalities that we can learn from an eagle. Number one, eagles fly alone at
high altitude. Eagles don't fly with sparrows, ravens, and other small birds.
Meaning, stay away from narrow minded people, those that bring you down. Eagles
fly with eagles. There's a saying that goes like this, People you hang around
will eventually determine the person you become.
Keep good company. Number two. Eagles have vision. They have
the ability to focus on something as far as five kilometers away. No matter
what the obstacles, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he
grabs it. Meaning have a vision and remain focused in your life. No matter what
the obstacles and challenges [00:01:00] you may
face, don't give up and you will succeed.
Number three, eagles are fearless. An eagle will never
surrender to the size or strength of its prey. It will always give a fight to
win its prey or regain its territory. Meaning, no matter what the size or big
your problems are. Don't give up. Instead, face it. Successful people are
fearless. They face problems head on.
Number four, eagles are tenacious. Eagles love storm. When
clouds gather, The eagles get excited. The eagles use the storm wind to lift
themselves higher. Once it finds the wind of the storm, the eagles use the
raging storm to lift itself above the clouds. [00:02:00]
This gives the eagle the opportunity to fly higher.
to glide and rest its wings. In the meantime, all the other
birds hide in the branches and leaves of the tree, meaning achievers are not
afraid of challenges. Rather, they relish in them and use them for
profitability.
Number five, eagles never eat dead things. Eagles never eat
dead meat. In other words, an eagle does not scavenge. It only eats the meat
from the prey it kills itself. Meaning, do not rely on your past success. Keep
looking for new frontiers to conquer. Leave your past where it belongs, in the
past.

[00:00:00] The Pan American
Highway is a network of roads stretching from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to Ushuaia,
Argentina, a distance of around 48, 000 kilometers, 30, 000 miles. According to
Guinness World Records, the Pan American Highway is the world's longest motorable
road. However, it is not readily possible to drive all the way since the route
is interrupted by the 160 kilometer wide Darien Gap between Central and South
America.
The highway consists of both official and unofficial elements.
The official section runs from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico on the US border to Buenos
Aires, the capital of Argentina. However, there are extensive unofficial
sections to both the north and south of this. The [00:01:00]
route runs through 14 countries. The United States, Canada, Mexico, Guatemala,
El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru,
Chile, Argentina.
In the process it passes through all the major climate zones
and many varied landscapes including arctic tundra, boreal forest, mountains,
prairies, arid deserts, and tropical jungles.

[00:00:00] A new report from
the World Wildlife Fund says that we may need to overhaul the way that we get
food in order to save the planet. Ian Lee has more on their findings. From the
savannah to the sea, the world's wildlife is under threat. Everything from big
game animals and birds to our favorite fish have had their populations decline
nearly 70 percent in the past 50 years.
The World Wildlife Fund released the report when we see this
decline, uh, in wildlife that we're really seeing an indicator of decline in
the overall planet that we call home. The organization monitored nearly 21, 000
different species. It says the destruction of habitats like rainforests. is one
of the biggest culprits.
How we grow food around the world is the biggest driver of
decline for terrestrial species. Species that live in forests or grasslands.
Agriculture is to blame for up to 80 percent of the global deforestation. To
help stop the trend, experts say we only need to look as [00:01:00] far as our kitchen. There are clearly
decisions that we, each of us, can make in terms of what we eat, what we buy,
how we use energy.
Um, a lot of choices that we make that do ripple through the
system. By living a more sustainable life, we can preserve our natural wonders
and the animals that live there for future generations. Ian Lee, CBS News,
London.

[00:00:00] One. How was your
flight? Oh, it was great. My flight was overbooked, and the airline asked for
volunteers to go on a later flight. I volunteered because the next flight was
only an hour later, and the airline gave me 300. It pays to be bumped. Two. Did
you have a good flight? Ugh, no, it was terrible. Oh no, why?
The flight was fully booked, so every seat was taken. I was
crammed between this guy who was snoring the whole time, and a really messy kid
who got his chips all over me. I couldn't wait for it to be over. Did you have
any trouble finding the house? No, not at all. We used the GPS, but it sure was
a long drive.
Did you stop anywhere? Yeah, we stopped at a rest stop about
halfway here [00:01:00] to get a cold drink and
stretch our legs. It was really hot out, and there were a ton of people there.
I guess it was a good weekend for road trips. Four. How was the drive? Really?
You look worn out. Well, I guess we are pretty exhausted.
It was so hot out and the air conditioning broke an hour into
the trip. We stopped at the halfway mark to switch drivers and eat lunch. Then
we had trouble starting the car. Five. Did you enjoy the ride? Oh, it was
great. It was nice to just relax and not have to worry about driving. I read my
book and did Sudoku puzzles the whole way.
And I met some really nice people too. They were on their way
to Boston too. I don't know why I've never taken the train before. Six. How [00:02:00] was the trip? Pretty good, I guess. I
don't really know because I was asleep the whole time. Really? Yeah, pretty
much. I started reading a book, but then I fell asleep and didn't wake up until
ten minutes after my stop.
I had to get off the train and get on another one going the
other direction. I'll have to set the alarm on my phone next time.

find my friend. Don't worry. What does she look like? She's thin and tall.
Anything else? Eyes? Hair? Her eyes are brown. She has long pink curly hair.
Her face is very beautiful. Do you know what kind of clothes she's wearing
today? She's wearing a yellow dress and white sporty shoes. Okay, I'll try to
help you find her.
Thank you so much. She's very friendly and has a nice smile. Oh
look, is that girl across the street your friend? Wow. Yes, that's her. Thank
you, Emma. You're welcome. Just go and get her.

[00:00:00] Every single one of
you has something that you're good at. Every single one of you has something to
offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. My
father left my family when I was two years old. And I was raised by a single
mom who had to work, and who struggled at times to pay the bills, and wasn't
always able to give us the things that other kids had.
There were times when I missed having a father in my life.
There were times when I was lonely and I felt like I didn't fit in. So I wasn't
always as focused as I should have been on school. And I did some things that
I'm not proud of, and I got in more trouble than I should have. And my life
could have easily taken a turn for the worse.
But I was, I was lucky. I got a lot of second chances, and I
had the opportunity to go to college and law school. My wife, our first lady,
Michelle Obama, she has a similar [00:01:00]
story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn't have a lot
of money. But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to
the best schools in this country.
Some of you might not have those advantages. Maybe you don't
have adults in your life who give you the support that you need. Maybe someone
in your family has lost their job and there's not enough money to go around.
Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don't feel safe. Or have friends who
are pressuring you to do things you know aren't right.
There is no excuse for For not trying. Where you are right now
doesn't have to determine where you'll end up. No one's written your destiny
for you. But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it. I want you
to really work at it. I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you
can do it.
Be rich and successful without any hard work. That your ticket
to success is through rapping or basketball and [00:02:00]
being a reality TV star. Chances are you're not going to be any of those
things. The truth is being successful is hard and you won't necessarily succeed
at everything the first time you try.
That's okay. Some of the most successful people in the world
are the ones who've had the most failures. J. K. Rawlings wrote Harry Potter.
Her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally
published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He lost
hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career.
But he once said, I have failed over and over and over again in
my life, and that's why I succeed.

[00:00:00] Hey Bob, guess what?
I'm going to visit Quebec next summer. I have to go to a friend's wedding, but
I also want to stay a while longer and do some sightseeing. That's great, Dave.
But do you mean the province of Quebec or Quebec City? I guess I mean the
province. The wedding is in Montreal, so I'm going there first.
I'll be there for about four days. Montreal is the capital of
the province, right? Well, a lot of people think so because it's the biggest
city, but it's not actually the capital. Quebec City is the capital, but
Montreal is great. That's great. The St. Lawrence River runs right through the
middle of the city.
It's beautiful in the winter. Wow! And do you think I can get
by in English? My French is okay, but not great. I know most people there speak
French, but can I also use English? Well, people speak both French and English
there, but you'll hear French most of the time. And all of the street signs are
in [00:01:00] French.
In fact, Montreal is the third largest French speaking city in
the world. So you'd better practice your French before you go. Oh, that's good
advice. Now what about Quebec City? I'm going to visit a friend from college
who lives there now. What's it like? It's a beautiful city. Very old. A lot of
old buildings have been nicely restored.
